Shi Long Fan Performing a 15min Set

I’ve been highlighting five youth guitarists over the past few days. Well, actually, sorry, only four since I could not find a video of Yang Hao who tied for 1st place. All of the youth are prize winners from the 8th Velbert Segovia-Wettbewerb 2012 youth competition (under 14 years). Shi Long Fan (People’s Republic of China) tied for 1st with Yang Hao. Here is Shi Long Fan playing a set of three works including some killer Bach so keep watching so you understand.

Congrats to all these spectacular youth!
